How to convert Node.js command line app to single executable?

Question

I built simple command line application using commander.js for Node.js platform. Now I want to compile it to simple exe file, Which I can execute directly.

Means I want single executable file for complete application

This is my application structure

APP_ROOT
  | - package.json
  | - node_modules
  | - node_modules/.bin/myapp.bat
  | - node_modules/myapp/bin/myapp
  | - node_modules/myapp/bin/myapp-action1
  | - node_modules/myapp/bin/myapp-action2

Thanks
